Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Puberty is the stage of development during which sexual maturation occurs. This includes the development of primary and secondary sexual characteristics, as well as the ability to reproduce. Therefore, option D is the best choice. While the other options may occur around the same time as puberty, they are not necessarily defining characteristics of puberty itself.
